Threshold - Paradox lyrics

he makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere

he learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear

see him burning the fruits of his labours

and with joy in his heart digs the graves of those

that he's trying to save oh, self destruction's his aim

see the soil turn to dust see the steel turn to rust

killing all those he loves thanking god up above

the paradox of man the paradox of man

he has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb

he's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man

and he envies the power of his neighbours

and he still fails to see he's become his own

worst enemy oh, will he ever learn?

see the truth turn to lies see the greed in his eyes

wasting all that remains his soul trapped in chains

the paradox of man the paradox of man

he makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere

he learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear

soil turn to dust, can his power ever last?

the chains of his gain, reveal secrets of his past

bitter is his greed, but man will never pay

oh lead me through, lead me through, the faults of his rage

he has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb

he's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man
